So much National
Archives and Records Administration (NARA) news so few days to post!
Well, in this case, it falls into the category of
not “new” news and it was news to me!
Did you know that NARA has an eBook collection? I didn’t! I am well aware of its print publications
collection including microfilm catalogs, guides, general information leaflets
(GIL) and more ...
As usual, I was on the trail of something unrelated
when I stumbled across this collection.
Here is an example of the available formats for the
publication Making Their Mark: Stories Through Signatures.
I just had to explore
further as now I was curious to know if the Library of Congress (LOC), the
Smithsonian, etc, have eBook collections.
- Library of Congress E-books
- Smithsonian Library Books Online & a new book, Best of Both Worlds: Museums, Libraries, and Archives in a Digital Age
Do you
know of any other national U.S.
institutions that have eBook collections?
Editor’s Note: Of
course, we always recommend the Internet Archive as a wonderful source for FREE access to ebooks and texts! The gateway
page gives you a great sense of what institutions are represented.
